Feelings Many Teens Struggle With • “Feeling that your friends don’t want you around. You feel like you’re a nothing”. • “Anger is a hard emotion to control. I know I have a bad temper, but try not to show it. That way no one knows how angry I can get.” • “I know I need to handle my jealousy. I don’t like feeling jealous, and I don’t like it when other people are jealous. I think we should be happy with what we have and be thankful that we have it.” • “The feelings that bother me the most are when I’m feeling down or sad.

The teacher also called on you and you didn’t know the answer to the question. You got a paper back and you got an A on it. At lunch you trip and drop your lunch tray, some of the students are laughing at you. A cute boy/girl stops and helps you clean up your mess. Finally the day is over - your mom picked you up from school unexpectedly to take you shopping. When you get home you get in an argument with your brother who borrowed something of yours then broke it accidently. You help your mom with the dishes which she really appreciates, then talk to your brother and work it out. He is really sorry and will replace what he broke.

For the most part, students were out of sight and quiet, and classroom doors were locked. Nice work! There were a couple of issues I would like to discuss. First, we need to make sure we move quickly and quietly when the drill is announced. It should only take you a few moments to get the kids out of sight. I saw a couple of classes still shuffling to hide when I walked by. Also, we need to stress to the students that any noise they make could draw attention to the entire class if an intruder was walking by. Second, we need to make sure all students are completely out of sight. When I looked in a couple of classrooms some of the students waved to me. Overall, great job! The school was a ghost town when I walked the halls. Thanks for your efforts!”
